Bruins Goalie Tandem: Swayman and Ullmark's Unbreakable Bond
The Dynamic Duo Behind Boston's Success
Jeremy Swayman, the charismatic half of the Boston Bruins' goalie tandem, is more than just a skilled netminder—he's the driving force behind the team's heartwarming post-game tradition: the goalie hug. The iconic embrace has become a symbol of the camaraderie and unbreakable bond between Swayman and his fellow goalie, Linus Ullmark.
The Origin Story
As Swayman recalls in a recent interview, the goalie hug was born out of a natural moment. "After one of our first games together, we had this incredible surge of camaraderie," Swayman explains. "We were both so excited that we just gave each other a big hug. And it just kind of stuck."
Since then, the goalie hug has become an integral part of the Bruins' post-game celebrations. It represents not only the shared success of the two goalies but also the deep friendship they have forged on and off the ice.
